Where a chimney is not blocked off completely it will cause the heater to cut out during use. ONLY if installing into a chimney and you are not

sure that you have cut off the draw 100% we recommend covering the slots in the rear and at either side.

Automatic safety cut out: The heater is fitted with an automatic cut out to prevent any damage due to overheating. The element will continually

and automatically cut out if the airflow is obstructed. Never cover the air outlets. To reset, switch the fire off, disconnect from the mains supply,
remove the cause of the overheating, check the micro switches and allow to cool for a suitable period then switch the fire back on. Caution: In
order to avoid a hazard due to inadvertent resetting of the thermal cut out, the appliance must not be supplied through an external switching
device, such as a timer, or connected to circuit regularly switched on and off by a utility.

Electrical connections: Your appliance comes fitted with a plug that incorporates a 13A fuse. The replacement fuses must be 13A and ASTA
approved. If the fuse cover is lost the plug must not be used until a replacement cover, of the same colour, is obtained from an electrical retailer.
The appliance is fitted with a moulded plug if it is necessary cut off the plug, for any reason, it must be discarded immediately with the fuse
removed. Under no circumstances should any attempt be made to reuse the plug, do not insert into any 13A socket as this could cause a hazard. If
the mains cable is damaged it must be replaced by the manufacturer or an authorised technical service centre.
